Fhe Storm III Wilmington. Del.

As stated in yesterdays GAZETTE, Will
mington, Del, was visited by one of the
worst storms ever experienced in that Sec
tion of the cornhy between twelve and one
O'Clock Yesterday molniug. The fuzzy Of
the storm lasted about half hour, and dur
ing this time horses wero unroofed, trees
blown doWa, streets and cellars flooded,
three lives were lost ond two other persons
seriously injured. During the early evening
the weather was oppressively sultry. but
later in the evening the temperature fell
slightly and from lowering banks OF clouds
ftfu flashes of Lightning began TO play.
About l2:40 o'clock in the morning rain
began TO fall gently for about five minutes,
when the storm suddenly burst out in ali its
fury. The rain descended in sheets, the
wind blev; with the force Of 2 hurricane,
While the lightning was binding in its al.
| most continuous flashes, and the thunder
rolled overhead with Il tremendous roar
Houses shook and troubled in the Jury CT
the gale. The storms main direction was
from the southwest, but counter currents
came from all directions, and wherever
these currents met great damage was done,
as was the case at Bancroft's Banks where
several persons were killed and number
wounded by the fall of tree upon house.
In the western part of the city the hurricane
did the most damage Trees of all kinds
and sizes lay on the ground in scores. Ten
houses of 81 row of fourteen on the north side
of Front street, between Lincoln and Union
streets. were unroofed. The roofs were
caught under the front cornice and turned
completely back, leaving the upper stories
exposed to the storm. The houses were
flooded throughout. The terrified occu-
pants jumped from their beds and ran out
into the storm before being assured that
their homes were not falling upon them. A
remarkable fact is that a lady who lived in
one of the houses in the same row that es.
capped, slept serenely through it all, and
knew nothing of the disaster until it was
over. Two houses in course Of erection on
another street were almost wrecked, and
numbers of houses throughout the city We're
unroofed. Two brickyards had number
OF kilns blown down, and about 100000
bricks ruined. In the Brandywine hun
dred, near the city, barns were unrooied,
outhuildings blown down and cattlo killed
and manned. AT Newark, twelve miles
from the city, the grocery store Of Rankip
Armstrong was partially wrecked by light
ming, and at the railroad station two men in

| A cave III the Sierra Madres recently gave
up some extremely interesting dead. A
party Of mining prospectors exhumed from
cavern several wonderfully preserved Az
tee mummies, silent witnesses Of prehis-
toric civilization in America These mum
mics have been in San Francisco some days
in charge Of Mr.. Docking, from whose care
it is understood, they are to be transferred
to Europe, where they will undoubtedly be-
come the property Of some antiquarian in
stitution Unlike the Egyptian mummies,
which disintegrate upon any considerable
| exposure to the air, these desccated speci-
mems of humanity are so remarkably well
preserved that they will probably remain in
! their present condition indefinitely. The
| bodies were found III cavern not far from
the banks Of the Gila river, on the slope OF
one Of the branches Of the Sierra Madre
range in Arizona, about thirty miles from
the Mexican boundary. The place ofsepul-
